Ofer describes him as one of his commanders: “A beloved and loving soldier, a soldier listens and receives, a volunteer soldier, an assistant, a man. Above all, a wonderful person, happy and smiling, sensitive to his environment, to his friends. Zadok, an idealist in his soul, searched for the ultimate truth and asked many questions: “How many conversations we had together, about everything in life that you were curious and asked, and we tried to give answers … “Commander Ofer continued, but many question marks remained in the air, and all the dreams and plans were abruptly cut off, while Zadok fell in the line of duty on April 26, 2004. He was nineteen and a half when he fell. He was laid to rest in the military cemetery in Ashkelon. Survived by parents, two sisters – Yonit and Liat, and brother – Netanel. “Zadok, an angel in the form of a man, says that angels are only in heaven, but you have been with us for nineteen and a half years and have proved to us all that angels are also in our world, and suddenly, without warning, Parashat KAnd left us in reality without an angel – an unimaginable reality. … We were accustomed to living with a perfect man, who radiated perfection – how are we supposed to live now with the lack of permission ?! … It turns out that even in heaven you understood how great you are, but from there you do not send a certificate but invite you to receive it! And that’s why they picked you up so fast, because that’s where the best and the best are. Our son, our dear brother, our angel, our beloved, our revered, our perfect, our outstanding, will preserve you from the day of truth wherever your soul is, and of course you will always stay with us … ” “Of all the words that went out of their minds / days of genius, grief and hope / two words there are simple, the most terrible of them all / two terrible words: ‘He was’ . // He was a handsome, beautiful / sensitive, hearty, full of joy of life / with a smile on his lips / gentle and timid. // He was simple and modest / true, honest and impartial / temperate and calm / who showed all around. // He was wise and pleasant / excelled in everything he did / with love People said: ‘There is a way of the land and Torah’. // He was loved by everyone / always surrounded by friends / and his broad and warm heart / gave infinite to others. “The roar of the Levite in heaven / Dinur that turned painful bullets / penetrates deep into the soul / expel one tear of hope,” wrote Ravit, a close friend. “He was tolerant and attentive / respected every opinion and person. . // And there was that last look / without saying any peace / and one big question mark / about that gray flicker of a moment. // and you walk along the milk path / glittering as always as a star / and the image of the disk hanging on the neck / pins of the friends are fixed on the cold grave. “You do not come to a performance by Ivri Lider, even though you have already studied,” Esther wrote. All the words / Do not spread smiles in all directions / And you will not make me laugh in sad moments. // You will not go on a trip to the desert and the wind / And do not wear the white veil / Rabbi Aviner’s book will remain open / You will not postpone to date no test. You will never have twins, and they will not learn to walk, and especially not to fall. You will not announce that you will arrive, and you will not announce that you have not, and that Mama, do not leave him anything to eat. “You will no longer guarantee that everything is okay. From the entire battalion, you will not return equipment. I remember what you were, but the real pain is whoever you are.” Eyal, a classmate, wrote: “… wise, modest, kind , A bright face to all, abundant in wisdom and nobility of soul – these are a number of traits that have stuck to you all along. … You loved life so much, loved the great world, loved the open sea and sky. … Zadok, lighting a torch that illuminates your unique image. Chico, thank you for letting me be your friend … “Amit wrote, another classmate:” … What is life without a smile, without your laughter rolling in dim memories. … One day I will tell my children that he was an amazing man, who just laughed, a man who excelled in everything, a man who, above all, was a man. There are brothers in the blood, there are brothers in arms, there are brothers in the school. You, Zadok, my brother in the soul. “Zadok’s family commemorated Zadok and his sister Yonit in a Torah scroll that was placed in the” Tzvi “high school yeshiva in Ashkelon.
